Lauren Beihoffer

Lauren is the owner and head guide at Misfit Mountain Athletics. A former research scientist and teacher turned coach and guide, Lauren brings years of diverse adventure experience to the table. Her mission is to provide meaningful experiences for reflection and growth through time in the wilderness. She believes that everyone--from the wannabe adventurer to the most experienced adventure athlete--should have the opportunity to explore, learn and build community in the wild. When not coaching or guiding, Lauren spends her time ultrarunning, backpacking, adventure racing, mountaineering and traveling. You can see her in action on Discovery Channel's Season 16 of Naked and Afraid.
